The Guest House - Rumi, 13th Century Poet

"This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival--A joy, a depression, a meanness,Some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor--Welcome and entertain them all!Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,Who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,Still treat each guest honorably.He may be clearing you out for some new delight--The dark thoughts, the shame, the malice,Meet them at the door laughing,And invite them in--Be grateful for whoever comes,Because each has been sent as a guide from Beyond."

In short, don't take yourself so seriously. Love and accept everything that you are. Be your own best friend. Some of the toughest work you'll ever do; and it's worth it.
